I believe it may work for passing the iocharset/codepage options
as well. Hopefully, the iocharset/codepage options aren't
something that must be in the /etc/fstab file. If not, I believe
this workaround should work.

Let me know if it works. I'm thinking it will. Executive summary
is as follows:

We create policy rules with match keys looking for specific
filesystem types and pass the *volume.policy.mount_option* key
containing the desired iocharset/codepage options. This has
the affect of *adding* additional options to the mount command
to what is already specified in /etc/fstab.

So you basically say that you don't want to keep the iocharset and codepage options in /etc/fstab at all, and want to pass them somehow to some unspecified agent that will actually mount the filesystem. Could you please explain how (with what command exactly) are you proposing to mount floppies? The regular "mount" command looks only at /etc/fstab and is, therefore, unsuitable for this setup.

Also, your file from the next mail doesn't add the "codepage" option to floppies.
